Aditya-L1: What is Lagrange Point, location of spacecraft on sun | Indepth with ILA | Oneindia News

India's first mission to the Sun is set for launch on September 2nd.

On Saturday, ISRO chief S Somanath said that Aditya L-1 has reached Sriharikota and is prepared for launch in the first week of September.

"After the launch, it will take 125 days from the earth to reach Lagrange point 1 (L1).

We have to wait till then," Somnath said.

The mission involves placing Aditya L1 in a set orbit from where it would be easy to observe different phenomenons on the Sun's surface.

It will be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point (L1) of the Sun-Earth system.

The location is around 1.5 million km away from Earth.
